      This is my most "favourited" photo - could some of you tell me what you like about it.
      Personally I like the clutter and the look on Capote's face as if someone's just suggested he tidied up a bit

      I personally like it because it's a window into somebody's life. And that life is not exactly ordinary - you can tell from the way he 'decorates'. He seems like such a fascinating character. Also, I like anything bizarre, the look on his face is bizarre enough.

      First view of this actual photograph for me. Its amazing how when reading about him I would have always imagined a colour like this, a setting like this. Makes me want to re-read the book which gave me these ideas about who he was. I did read 3 books he wrote/about him years before actually seeing many pictures but this does take me straight back to the image in my mind all those years ago. Best Truman photo yet.
